About St Gregory and St Patrick's Catholic Infant School

St Gregory and St Patrick's Catholic Infant School is a state primary in Cumberland, a local authority that contains 144 primary schools in total, only five of which hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school sits among a cluster of well-regarded local peers, with Jericho Primary School, Irthington Village School, and Shankhill CofE Primary School all scoring highly on the area's ranking system. As a Roman Catholic infant school catering for children aged three to seven, it occupies a specific niche in the local landscape, offering nursery provision and a mixed-gender intake. The school is led by headteacher Kirsty Rowell and currently has 202 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 360, which suggests there is room for growth. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2024, awarded the school a Good rating across all five graded categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This represents a consistent performance compared with its previous inspection in 2014, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good.
